The film will arrive in 40 new international circuits next weekend.
Wonka’s reception among critics and viewers
Along with an impressive debut at the overseas box office, Wonka has been enjoying positive word-of-mouth, and even most critics have given it a big thumbs up.

Budget and breakeven of Wonka
As per the report in Screenrant, the budget of Wonka is $125 million, which puts it in a position to enjoy good returns in the long theatrical run. As mentioned above, the film is riding high on positive feedback, and it might go beyond the opening weekend projection of $30-$40 million at the North American box office.
Going by the general rule of thumb, Wonka will need to earn at least double the budget to achieve breakeven. So, the film will be a commercial success if it rakes in $250 million at the worldwide box office. Having said that, the Timothée Chalamet starrer has 10 days to enjoy maximum chunk at ticket windows as DC’s Aquaman 2 is scheduled to release on 22nd December.
